Meet Josie!!

Josie is really alive and well at the Wall household! Here she is with Elijah & Alex--she really is a cute puppy!

A Noteworthy Performance

Michaela performed as Gabriella in High School Musical, her school play. She did an outstanding job singing her extremely difficult solo, and blew the audience away every time she hit a high note. We are all very proud of her!

Michaela had a fun, sparkly dress!

Cousins by the dozens!

An Unforgettable Night!

At the welcome home party for George W. Bush tonight I was truly blessed. It was a night I'll never forget--and I hope my kids never forget. Through a series of simple events, we got bumped from white (general admission) to red (VIP admission) and then to blue (event level admission) and were able to sit in the handicap section with our stroller & kids. We had a great view and were just blessed by getting to be near such an amazing person.

It is truly amazing to hear George Bush talk about what matters to him--and to hear his fondness for his wife and parents and the people of America--just so great!!

Here's a picture, and a link for more!!

Aunt Carol's Funeral

We attended my Aunt Carol's funeral this December.  She was a wonderful women that served God with all her heart.  The service was very nice, filled with many fun stories of her life.  Even the younger cousins shared memories.  After the service, we laid flowers on her grave and ate a delicious dinner at Mimi's Cafe.  

Ashley was there- yum!

The lines were so great we rode multiple times!

Santa brought us passes to Mulligans, so we went on Tues

Mini golf was very competitive - Garrett won by one stroke, the rest of us tied!

We play seriously... (ha)

Garrett and Blake attempt to scale the rock wall

We are having a great Christmas vacation! Since our season passes to Six Flags expire on 12/31, we went one last time. The crowds were few, and all the coasters were going, so the lines were great! We rode our fill of rides - I think Mike finally said "I'm coastered out!". We also enjoyed a fun day at Mulligans on Tues, where we played mini golf, go-carts, video games, and climbed the rock wall. We had planned on doing some projects around the house over the break, but who has time for that? We are too busy playing : )
